A voltage type inverter apparatus comprising a voltage correcting portion. The voltage correcting portion corrects a given voltage instruction based on a value generated by passing a direct current bus voltage detected value through a first degree delay filter. In decelerating a speed of the alternating current motor, the speed is decelerated in an overexcited state by multiplying the given voltage instruction by a set gain. Simultaneously, a time constant of the first degree delay filter is made larger than a time constant in a normal control state.
